For this project I took advantage of the freedom to include what ever I wanted. When driving one day I imagined just what it might be like to take my car into space. I started by taking a photo of myself with arms on the steering wheel, and splicing in a picture with my face in the side mirror. Upon finding a breath-taking space-scape that would work well beneath my ride into space, I started to add things I might see on my journey. The planet on the right, Jupiter appears not because of it being my favorite, but because it is the largest, and made sure to have the storm brewing on the planet visible in the picture. The space station in my windshiled brings comic book-reminders of my first project. The comet speeding towards its eminant distruction shows the irony in any situations. I added a space can, more of an inside joke then anything, but I'm sure space has trash, at least if people are driving cars through it. I added earth in the rear view mirror to show not only that my journey was just beginning but that my home was still in view. I always found humor in billboards, advertisements and incorperating intergelatic projection into said subjects. The 'Eat at Joe's' planet is half personal humor, half homeage to the millions of cartoons and comedies that used that gag to always get a laugh out of their audience. I imagine I'd see SOME form of life in space, why not a space cow? Also, and again, I do find irony in space cows hopping over a planet advertising space hamburgers. The project more or less came together as I went, adding another item as I saw fit, and deciding if what I did add worked well together.
